fresimum baseballers went down to a
12-S defeat at the hands of the

The contest was featured by the
work of the two motrailsmen, Lock

out five men and issued only too
passes to first, holding the prep toss
ers to nine hingles while the latter
whiffed eight freshmen, allowed ten
hits and. except fat the sixth and
seventh innings, had things well in
hand.
Scoring two runs in the first and
c,ne in the second st,•uiza, the yearling,
cause looked tube safe but the Salts
burg team counted four times in the
fourth frame and was never headed.
The !north and fifth were also fruit
ful for the Kiski nine, one man cross
ing the plate in the former and three
in the latter.
A rally in the sixth with two down

Although Coach Ernie Paul's fight

Asserting that the sub-conscious

are being given weekly in Old Chapel

is "Abnormal Psychology anti Mental

Sathers." "Brains," he continued,
"are given to us to regulate and con
trol our instincts to the best welfare
of our interests."
lie also painted a vivid picture of
many of the demented inmates of the
sanitorium. "The conditions of in
sanity, he concluded. are caused by
illusions and hallucinations of per
ception and observation."
Doctor Pike who has lectured here
for the last few years comes under
the auspices of the School of Educa

the sixth and last lecture will be h_•ld

eel Saturday morning stating that
"The Governor has approve:) the qp
propriation for Pennsylvania State

dollars" marked the opening of a new
era in Pean State's prosperity.
This wire marked the culmination
of an effort to get for Penn State a
sufficiently large appropriation to en
able the trustees to further properly
the interests of the College.
Dr. Iletzel's Remarks
President Iletzel stated "While the
increase is gratifying, it is still far
short of what is needed to put this
institution where it should be. We
are exceedi.agly gratified beyond the
mere fact that our appropriation was
set back to the original figure in that
both the legislature and governor have
given close• attention and more
weight to the merits of our case."
The bill was first cut approximatrly
$735,000 by the Senate but was
re
stored to its original figure of $4,1281.-
500 lily the (louse. It then returned
to the Senate which body concurred
and was lima put before Goveraor
Fisher for consideration. The gov
ernor had still a week left in the time
allowance of one month when he sign
ed the bill for $4,000,000.
Increases in Divisions
Of the entire amount $2,100,011t1
